ton, it will be well for such projectors t,
bear in mind, that owing to incorrec
surveys of the past, there is a strip O
three feet in width somewhere near tn
middle on the main street side of saiC
block which is an orphan, as it were
having neither owner nor legal claimant
That would complicate matters consider
ably.
ExCouncilor VIM. Driver will return
to his many Ogden friends on the morn
ing of Thursday, bringing with him, we
hope, sunny, blossoming April. lie
has had long and pleasant sojourn in
California.
Settled at home and in the hardware
store again, w. w. Funge is giving an
interesting account of himself while on a
two weeks trip through the East, most
of the time being occupied by thorough
visit to and inspection of the foundries,
rolling mills, Hardware establishments,
and similar institutions in and about the
Garden City. His views were largely
widened and his experience greatly en-
riched. Chicago, as a whole, made deep
impression on his susceptible mind, and
the trip will prove lifelong gain to him.
he says that many Chicago capitalists
contemplate heavy investments here, in
the near future, this city offering I'M
equaled facilities to capital and enter
prise.
l just learn that Mr.. H. Deprezin is
going to have large brick building erect
ed on Fifth street, nearly opposite the
Chapman. This is only one of hundred
"straws" which show the direction of the
wind. Mr.. Mason acts as agent for Mr..
Deprezin's numerous real estate invest
ments.
Mr.. J. NJ. Edwards is now rapidly
recovering. He has already been able to
be driven around town in buggy, and
in few days it is expected he will again
"bestride the narrow world as a colossus"
on a pair of Heiser's No. Tvs. His
business affairs will be elucidated and
arranged on the 14th next.
J. NJ. Browning, one of our stalwart
young citizens, left for the East Tuesday
forenoon. But this time it was not one
of his numerous valuable gun or rifle
patents which his fertile mind has so
proftably evolved, that he had slowed
away in his valise, but the Book of Nor
mon, the Doctrine and Covenants and
of war and equipped himself with the
weapons of the spirit, as he is on a mis-
sion as Elder of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. Several
other young men accompanied him on
the same errand to the Southern States,
mostly, whence quite a number of con-
verts are expected.
Yesterday an advance agent of the
celebrated variety show of Harrigan &
Hart, one of New York's chief attrac-
tons, went through here, bound for San
Francisco, whittier the Gotham combina-
ton are soon to follow On their return
trip to the East, in about two months,
they will appear in Salt Lake City, but
touch Ogden only with the outside of
their elbows, as the agent had to be told
that our new Thespian temple would
hardly be ready for occupancy just then.
In reply to an insinuation by the
Herald that the managers of the Union
Opera House should find out the capacity
of their place before they cram it people
and endanger the latter's lives in case
of fire, one of the management wishes
to say that the capacity of the house is
we'll known, a great deal better than is
that of the new tabernacle, for which
thousands of dollars have been paid to
the many hundreds actually expended.
On Monday little boy of Mr.. Living
ston, partner of Mr.. G. B. Payson, came
near drowning in ditch near the parental
residence on the bench. Now is the time
for mothers and nurses to keep an in
cessantly watchful eye on their little ones
when outdoors.
Saturday morning a Raymond excur-
sion comprising eleven sleepers will be
in from the West. They will take a
jaunt down to the center stake of Zion
to see the sights of the kingdom, includ-
ing the hippodrome on Sunday. This s
one of the largest that ever came
through. The d. & R. G. will convey
the caravan from here to your city.
IT'S almost of daily occurrence we read
notices warning the public that the hus-
band will not be responsible for any
debts contracted by the wife But lady
in Ruby Valley goes it one better,
and advertises that cher husband has
left his bed and board with her and will
not return" and that she will not pay
anv debts he may incur. Verify, the
gray mare is the best horse in Utah.
Many a poor woman would be glad if her
loafng husband would quit her bed and
board.
We spoke, the other day, of the I'M
happy fate which followed the restaurant
business in this city. This morning an
alleged wag informed us they had all
died of consumption. He will be buried
tonight without bell or book. We looked
at him. He fell annihilated, as though
he had faced the "She."
"What fools these mortals be-"
Monday man quarreled with his wife.
She, aided by her friends ( y went to a
lawyer, feed him, had her spouse ar
